Looking back, should you have bought a RA instead?

yep, the RA is a nice addition to the Mitsu line for those who can't quite afford the Evo, but still want something quick, but no I wouldn't. I also like the look of the Evo better honestly. For all of the little issues people have with them, the X is an excellent car.
the RA would be a great DD but not for me. i like things..fast. the RA might be quick but not fast. i dunno ive thought about it then i started thinking about the "other" cars out there that i'll probably run into and lose to ie cabalt, ms3, 32 and the list goes on.

This is really a dumb question to ask...especially on the Evo X board. I'm not sure what you expect to hear? The X is obviously better. The cars market to different people. There's not going to be anyone who says they wished they would have gotten the RA instead of the X, but there will be some people who say they wish they would have gotten the X instead of the RA (excluding me). I enjoy the SST very much, and the low-end torque is great for driving around town. I don't go to the track, so what's the point of me spending the extra money for the X?

For a few more dollars you get a base bone GSR over a fully loaded RA which to some isn't what they are looking for plus 85% of all cars sold come in auto and the RA comes with one of the best autos in the industry. The RA is more livable than a GSR for majority that just want a DD. I have already seen much more RA's around town than EVO X's even though the RA was released later. It's a good product for Mitsubishi I just prefer the X but I'm used to a rougher ride.

the ra would be a good buy for enthusiast if it came with a 5spd or even the sought after 6spd. I think mitsu messed up by not offering a manual option. so with that said absolutely not rather buy a used nine or eight or for gas efficiency, affordability, and performance a 09 si. Why buy a ralliart when you buy a wrx.
